Definitions

  • the invention relates to a data processing system with a first subsystem (front end), to which the outside via the Internet can be accessed, and with a second subsystem (Backend) that is logical with an unauthorized access preventing device with the first subsystem connected and otherwise complete.
  • Data processing systems of this type are related to known to the internet.
  • An internet subscriber does have one first subsystem access, can enter data there, data get displayed, get general information, may be forwarded to other links. But he doesn't have one direct access to the data in a second subsystem, that is connected to the first one by a firewall. Rather, the data from the second subsystem is only selective transferred to the first subsystem to which the Internet subscriber Should have access.
  • WO-A-9901188 discloses a method and an apparatus for performing a virtual punch card lottery game.
  • a central controller is operated by the provider and is in contact with the player via the Internet. The player selects his desired number in a coordinate network on his virtual punch card and sends his selection to the game provider.
  • An encryption processor is also integrated on the central controller, which ensures both the authenticity of the players and the security of individual communication.
  • a player database with the players' e-mail addresses is managed centrally by the controller. In the event of a win, the central controller sends an e-mail notification to the player. All payment information as well as participation itself takes place via the Internet.
  • EP-A-0947966 discloses an interactive lottery game. Each lottery will have one certain time played, the time being variable. The game is centralized Computer with game database performed. Participants can get away from their home Participate PCs in the lottery over the Internet.
  • US-A-5855515 discloses a network of locally licensed game machines for: Example in casinos.
  • the system has one on site in the casino Frontend controller, which on one side in connection with the Gambling equipment stands.
  • On the other hand there is a central computer system to control the licensed devices and casino systems. Periodically a random number is generated according to the rules of the game Game participants should match. This is done indirectly with the help of the frontend system informed about his jackpot win.
  • the object of the invention is to create a data processing system of the type mentioned at the beginning with which participation is only possible from the Internet without manipulation are possible from the outside.
  • the data processing system stands out characterized in that the second subsystem (backend) has a random generator, Storage facilities for data of game participants a lottery including lottery numbers that Players are assigned a winning plan and a calculator for allocating profits based on those in the random number generator generated numbers to game participants with the numbers has corresponding lot numbers, and that in the first subsystem a computer for data exchange with the game participants and in the second subsystem an e-mail facility for notification the winner is provided.
  • the winning numbers are generated by a random number generator generated, which of course must be ensured that real random numbers are generated and not certain numbers generated significantly more often than other numbers.
  • a random number generator has proven to be particularly useful proven his numbers using a physical Noise source, e.g. Semiconductor noise determined.
  • This Random number generator can be any digit (max. 20 digits) Final digits, (e.g. lot numbers with two final digits, lot numbers with three final digits, etc.) that yield profits should.
  • This random number generator is from the outside, in particular from the first subsystem (front-end system) as a matter of course inaccessible.
  • the second subsystem Backend system
  • further storage devices databases for data from lottery participants including Lot numbers assigned to the players are provided.
  • the data of game participants include names, Address, bank details and, if necessary, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses and the same.
  • the lot numbers are also saved, with which the game participants in the lottery participates. If we are talking about game participants here are of course not only male game participants Gender, but also such female gender meant.
  • the storage devices also contain a profit plan that determines how high a particular one is Generation of random numbers (drawing of final digits)
  • the winnings are when the lot has the correct ending number correct two last end numbers etc.
  • the corresponding Allocation of the winnings to the lots and thus the game participants then take place with the help of a in the second subsystem arranged computer. Then in the first subsystem Computer for data exchange with the game participants and in second subsystem an e-mail device for notification the winner provided.
  • Operation is automatic.
  • the data processing system has a timer, of at regular intervals, in particular generation once a day at a specified time of random numbers and allocation of winnings (draw).
  • more can also be provided than to make such a drawing once a day.
  • Other general information can also get a game participant.
  • the or a computer of the first subsystem Mask created for the screen of the game participant in can enter the same data.
  • the game participant can register and his name, address, bank details and enter payment method. Once payment is made by Transfer has been received or the authorization of Payment is made by the credit card institute or the like that the game participant wants to use can the game participant in an advantageous embodiment choose one or more lot numbers. The number of lots which the game participant can choose can be limited become.
  • the operation takes place automatically. Paying out winnings is also done automatically, by the game participant specified bank account.
  • game participants are free to participate in one or multiple draws (bonus lots) are granted as winnings. This can be the case, for example, if the player in the the drawing in question has the correct final number in its lot number Has.
  • one or more of the Computer either in the second subsystem, advantageously but authorization control already in the first subsystem carry out. For example, based on the zip code be checked whether the game participant is actually in a Area in which the lottery is carried out.
  • Each computer and memory is expediently by one second added to continue operation in the event of failure of the first to be able to.
  • firewalls ensure that no unauthorized access to the system or components of the System is possible. Particularly advantageous against the danger of manipulations, however, it has turned out if the essential parts of the system are mechanically sealed. So could for example the random number generator in a sealed see-through housing to accommodate it cannot be manipulated. Of course this must If necessary, provide the housing with ventilation holes his.
  • the data processing system shown in Fig. 1 has three Areas, namely the freely accessible Internet area 3, the first subsystem 1 and the second subsystem 2. Das first subsystem 1 is against the freely accessible internet area 3 separated by a firewall 4. Access to data, that go beyond general information is only with Possible with the help of a password.
  • the first subsystem is 1 separated from the second subsystem 2 by a "logical" firewall.
  • the first subsystem has a web server 6 and one Data server 7, which links to a data structure 8 is.
  • a replacement computer is shown at 9 which is used can be, if the computer 6 or 7 fails.
  • a main computer 10 is provided, wherein at 11 a replacement computer is connected, which at Failure of the computer 10 take over the same functions can.
